2 Background: introduction to the King Review King Review of low-carbon cars launched in Budget 07 by Gordon Brown Independent Reviewer Professor Julia King, with support from Sir Nicholas Stern Cross-Government Review Team, led by Chris Mullin in HMT, with members from DfT, DEFRA, BERR and HMT Reporting to 4 Secretaries of State: DfT, HMT, BERR and DEFRA 2 publications: Part 1: The potential for CO 2 reduction published in October with PBR 07 Part 2: Policy recommendations expected to publish Budget 08 Terms of reference: to examine the technologies that can help decarbonise road transport, particularly cars, in the next 25 years, and make recommendations on how the UK should respond to these The King Review of low-carbon cars 2

7 The challenge The Stern Review set outs the overall challenge of 60-80% emissions reductions by 2050 in the developed world With passenger cars contributing 13% of the UK s total emissions, this sector will need to make major reductions The Eddington Transport Study (2006): under a BAU scenario road transport in the UK is predicted to rise by 28% between 2003 and 2025 extrapolating this trend, road transport could double by 2050 To achieve an 80% reduction in CO 2 emissions from cars in the UK by 2050 implies a 90% reduction in emissions per km almost complete decarbonisation of cars The King Review of low-carbon cars 7

8 Potential for CO 2 savings The King Review was set up in the wake of the Stern Review to look at ways of reducing CO 2 emissions from cars, on the way to complete de-carbonisation There is huge potential for CO 2 savings, with a role for vehicle manufacturers, fuel companies, consumers and Government We need to ensure progress in all areas: cleaner fuels more efficient vehicles smart driver choices and behaviour The King Review of low-carbon cars 8

9 Cleaner fuels: all fuels need to be considered based on life-cycle CO 2 CO 2 emissions from fuels occur at different stages of the lifecycle Extraction / Harvesting With conventional petrol and diesel most CO 2 emissions are downstream petrol and diesel (typically 85% tailpipe) With alternative fuels most CO 2 emissions are upstream Production / Processing Distribution biofuels (mostly harvesting, production) electricity, hydrogen (almost totally production) Tailpipe There are many different ways of making the same fuel: with a major influence on CO 2 emissions petrol from oil sands has 25% higher CO 2 emissions than from conventional sources biofuel CO 2 emissions vary between 10% and 100% of petrol emissions depending on feedstock, fertiliser use and production technique electricity varies between 5% and 90% depending on energy source hydrogen varies between 5% and 400% depending on energy source The King Review of low-carbon cars 9

10 Cleaner fuels: proceed with caution on biofuels As a low-carbon, energy-dense liquid fuel, biofuels will have a role in road transport the development of this industry is important But - expand too fast, and there will be damaging environmental consequences there are good and bad biofuels, depending on how and where they are produced, with impacts on biodiversity, water supplies, food markets, overseas development objectives etc. if rainforests are cleared to grow biofuels, either directly or indirectly, the net effect is more damaging to the environment than using petrol annual global emissions from deforestation are 18% - cf 14% from transport Robust sustainability safeguards - in place and proven are critical to ensuring that the expansion of biofuel demand is an environmental good In the long term: we should not anticipate more than a small proportion of the UK s car fuel coming from biofuels land requirements for biofuels are high approximately 1% of the world s agricultural land is currently needed to grow 1% of world s fuel - IEA biomass can be more directly and efficiently used in power generation, from a total CO 2 perspective niche requirements for liquid fuels will remain: aircraft, military etc The King Review of low-carbon cars 10

11 Cleaner fuels: clean power generation is critical to de-carbonising road transport Biofuels can only ever be part of the solution and increases in the efficiency of conventional vehicles will not be enough to get us where we need to be by 2050 In the long term, CO 2 -free road transport fuel is the only way to achieve almost de-carbonised road transport electric vehicles, with novel batteries charged by zero-carbon electricity or hydrogen produced from zero-carbon electricity We cannot have clean cars without clean power The extra electricity demand must be met from new low CO 2 sources total conversion of the UK car fleet to electricity equates to 16% of current demand, or 30% if hydrogen is used E4tech Transport cannot be viewed in isolation The King Review of low-carbon cars 11

12 Vehicle efficiency: significant scope for shortterm savings Technology for conventional vehicles that can reduce CO 2 emissions per car by 30% is already close to market this includes direct injection, variable valve actuation, cylinder-deactivation, stopstart; regenerative braking and some non-propulsion technologies this potential is in addition to savings from alternative fuels and smarter choices they could could be standard within 5-10 years These technologies would be cost-effective for the user some of these technologies will carry a cost premium - rough estimates suggest a cost of around per car but better fuel efficiency would reduce whole-life costs Barriers delaying deployment pose a challenge for policy supply-side: manufacturers need to be confident of a market demand-side: consumers have to want the vehicles Carbon pricing/trading is a necessary instrument, but not sufficient to make this happen with urgency The King Review of low-carbon cars 12

13 Vehicle efficiency: close to market options New engine and transmission efficiency savings and indicative costs The King Review of low-carbon cars 13

14 Vehicle efficiency: long term, zero-carbon vehicles are a realistic aim Cars that emit 50% less CO 2 than today could be on the road by probably plug-in hybrids with an electric system incorporating a small internal combustion engine major advances in hybrid and battery technology are needed vehicle costs must fall to be acceptable to the consumer By 2050 battery power could reduce CO 2 emissions per vehicle by up to 80% if charged by zero-carbon electricity the vehicle technology challenge is significant and needs addressing now CO2 emitted per car Vehicle technology timeline -30% -50% -80% Near to market technologies Stock of cars rolled out Hybridisation New cars halves emissions per car compared to today Very low emission cars powered by electrical or hydrogenenergy The King Review of low-carbon cars 14

16 Smart driver choices: a low-cost quick win? Smart choices Vehicle choice Going for best in class could alone reduce emissions by 10-25% over time If preferences changed and people downsized, much more is possible Driver efficiency Eco-driving (e.g. not over-accelerating, optimal speed) up to 15% more fuel efficient Pumping tyres up, not carrying unnecessary weight etc Small reductions in marginal car use, car sharing and use of alternative means of transport can reduce emissions and congestion In theory, these could all add to a 50% reduction in emissions. An ambition of at least 10% reduction in emissions from behaviours is challenging, but certainly achievable Everyone needs to play their part in meeting the challenge especially us - the public Consumer behaviour has a big effect on CO 2 from road transport the Review estimates savings of at least 10% over the next few years could come from consumer behaviour, 25% is possible These actions help the environment, and reduce fuel costs for the individual However, there are barriers to realising this potential: environmental awareness and action in road transport lags other sectors - powerful cars are still symbols of status people tend to discount heavily future fuel cost savings The King Review of low-carbon cars 16

17 Consumer choices Choosing the lowest emitter in class can improve fuel efficiency by 25% The King Review of low-carbon cars 17

18 A Pathway to the Future Strong action is required across the board cleaner fuels more efficient vehicles smarter driver choices The King Review of low-carbon cars 18

19 Summary messages Stern s challenge - to achieve 80% reduction in emissions by is realistically achievable for emissions from cars, with action now It requires some significant developments: technical and behavioural There is no single solution fuels, vehicle technologies and consumer choices must all play a part Proceed with caution on biofuels: we must not see them as too much of the solution Vehicle technology is available for the immediate future, if there is a market Clean electricity for is an issue for today Consumer choices and behaviour offer the quickest and cheapest, but perhaps the hardest, wins The King Review of low-carbon cars 19

20 Next steps The King Review Part II will make policy recommendations and will report in time for the Budget 2008 The report will address 4 key challenges: how to take account of CO 2 emissions across the life cycle in monitoring and incentivising fuels how close to market vehicle technologies might be brought into widespread use Government s role in R&D for automotive and fuel technologies how to realise more of the potential from consumer choices The report will consider policy and interventions to deliver short, medium and long term requirements Short term: how to develop the market and ensure good biofuels Medium term: consistent signals for industry and support to UK innovation, eg through development, demonstration, procurement Long term: supporting Grand Challenges in this area for the research community In the context of European and international collaboration and influence The King Review of low-carbon cars 20
